Chapter 33
"Brother, why do you look so familiar?"

Feng Ping took the initiative to go forward and blocked Zhang Mazi's way.

"We...we don't know each other."

"You take a closer look?"

It was said that Zhang Mazi saw the shoes from the other person's hair, and they looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"do not know."

He shook his head, bypassed the other party, and walked forward.

Snapped!
Feng Ping pressed his palm against his shoulder and clasped his fingers lightly, making him unable to move.

"Daoist Yao, do you know him?"

Zhang Mazi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered!

"Seal... seal..."

"Xia Niu Dali, long time no see!"

How could Feng Ping let the other party say his name?
"You... how did you..."

Zhang Mazi didn't even finish two sentences in a row, and he was dragged away by this young man who had grown by more than ten centimeters and looked a little wild.

The vegetable market in Shuntian Prefecture is crowded with many people.

Feng Ping clasped the opponent's shoulder and turned four turns before finding a small alley with few people.

Letting go, he stared at this old acquaintance with great interest, until Zhang Mazi's scalp was numb and his two legs were shaking. Then he said, "Where did you get rich recently?"

"Feng...Master Feng, if you have something to tell me directly."

Zhang Mazi learned his lesson this time, so he straightened up his posture and listened to the other party in everything.

"Is there any major event happening in Shuntian Mansion recently?"

Obviously, what Feng Ping asked was about Zhao's firm, Zhang Mazi thought for a while, and said, "Master Feng, for some reason, there has been no movement from Zhao's side."

Nothing?
Who did the other corpse without spiritual roots belong to?
Could it be the monk behind the Zhao family?
This was beyond Feng Ping's expectation, and things seemed to be developing in an unknown direction.

"I'm going to open a blacksmith's shop near Caishikou, so come and give me a hand."

"Ah..." Zhang Mazi's mouth widened, and he swallowed the words again, "Okay...okay."

"What? Not happy?"

"Happily happy!"

"Go ahead and find a suitable shop for me. Tomorrow, I will be waiting at Caishikou."

After Feng Ping finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving any money.

Zhang Mazi was naturally familiar with this kind of thing, so he would save himself the trouble and trouble.

After leaving the alley, Feng Ping found an inn, had some simple meals, and spent the night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Mazi, who had been busy for a long time, waited early at the entrance of the vegetable market. Seeing Feng Ping approaching, he hurried forward, nodding and bowing.

He also thought about running away overnight, but he dismissed the thought when he thought of the opponent's method of killing Daoist Yao by flipping his hands.

There is no other way but to do what the other party says!
"Feng... Master Niu, come with me."

Zhang Mazi led Feng Ping through the downtown area, and came to Zhenghua Street, which was located west of Caishikou. There were various shops on both sides of this street.

There are everything that sells rice, noodles, cloth and iron.

There are as many as four blacksmith shops alone.

Shuntian Mansion is a large mansion, with a large population, there are naturally many shops. Although the shops are densely opened, the business is not bad.

These days, as long as you have a skill and don't want to be rich, you can earn a living.

Zhang Mazi stopped in front of one of the blacksmith shops.

Feng Ping looked up at the plaque: Niu Shen Blacksmith Shop.The name is very atmospheric and fits his pseudonym very well.

"Master Niu, the owner of this shop doesn't want to work anymore and is going to transfer the shop. I talked with him all night last night and finally lowered the price to a hundred taels of silver. But..."

Feng Ping looked at the other party, didn't ask, and waited for him to speak.

"But the boss's son seems to disagree."

"Let's go! Believe it or not, I will report to the police to arrest you!" At this time, a little boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old came out. He pointed to Zhang Mazi's chest and said with a blushing face.

Feng Ping turned around and looked into the blacksmith's shop. A strong man in his prime was holding a big hammer, constantly beating the pickaxe on the iron felt.

Obviously, there is no metal smelting technology here. If you want to make a shape, you can only burn the iron red and knock it out with a hammer.

I just don't know if this is the case for monks refining weapons?

Feng Ping stepped up two flights of stairs and went directly into the shop.

The jingling sound was very loud, so he could only ask loudly, "Master, what's your name?"

"Li Daniu."

"..."

It turns out that the owner of the store is not named Niu.

"Can you pass on your craft?" Feng Ping still said loudly.

Li Daniu stopped what he was doing, and used iron tongs to put the pickaxe, which had just taken shape, into the charcoal stove for roasting.

"Do you want to learn?"

"correct."

Zhang Mazi was a little confused while listening.

Don't you want to open a blacksmith shop?Why did you change your apprentice again!
"It looks like I have some strength, come on, try this hammer." After speaking, Li Daniu handed the big hammer in his hand to Feng Ping.

He took the hammer, and it was very heavy, let alone swinging it, it would be difficult for most people to carry it.

But that's for the average person.

Feng Ping held the handle of the hammer, played with a flower in his hand, and then put it back on the iron felt.

boom!
A muffled sound.

Li Daniu looked at him in surprise, tsk-tsk in his mouth, "I can't tell, but there is some strength."

"I used to do crop work when I was a child."

"Master Niu, don't you want a shop?"

"Yes."

Li Daniu recognized Zhang Mazi, "Is he the Master Niu you mentioned?"

"exactly."

"Do you want to buy my shop, or do you want to learn blacksmithing from me?"

"Being a boss and learning blacksmithing." Feng Ping took out two banknotes from his shirt with a smile, and continued, "I am the boss. I have the final say on what to buy and what to sell. In addition, I only stay for one year. After the year, the shop will return to you."

As he spoke, he knelt down and stuffed the two bank notes into the pocket of Li Daniu's son.

"You...you won't drive my father away?" Li Xiaoniu blinked his big eyes and asked suspiciously.

"Of course not."

Li Daniu looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, completely unable to understand what the master was going to do.

200 taels of silver!
That's not a small amount!

He may not be able to earn this by working hard all his life!

"Really?" Li Daniu still couldn't believe it.

"Really, but on one condition."

"You speak!"

What conditions are still being discussed at this time, just agree to it!
"First, you have to move out this year, and come to the shop every day from Mao to Wei to teach me how to forge iron."

"it is good!"

Li Daniu agreed happily, but he didn't expect such a good thing!

"Second, what do I want to learn, as long as you know how to teach it!"

"Row!"

His skill is not worth 200 taels of silver.

"Third, if I have something to do, you can stay in the store, but you have to close the store when the time comes."

"Fourth, I am the boss here, and I have the final say on everything."

Feng Ping made seven or eight requests in a row, and Li Daniu complied one by one.

These are requirements, but compared to 200 taels of silver, they are nothing!

"The last one." Feng Ping pointed to Zhang Mazi, and said, "Let's learn it together."
